Apple Cider Vinegar

Since my last post was on alkalizing, and thanks to a facebook thread with Deanna and Kathy,I figured I’d continue with that theme and write about one of my favorite products on planet earth,which was also a staple in my anti-cancer diet: Apple Cider Vinegar.

Whether all those claims are true, I don’t know. All I know for sure is, I love it.

And I never liked vinegar until I tried Apple Cider Vinegar about 12 years ago. Now I’m a fiend for it.(Full disclosure: my wife can’t stand the stuff)

The most popular way to take it is to mix a teaspoon of ACV with a teaspoon of raw honey in a glass of filtered water.Even if you don’t like vinegar, that makes it super easy to drink; kinda like diluted apple juice. It’s a great way to start the morning and they even bottle it and sell it diluted with honey as a beverage.

I took the picture on the right when I saw some recently in Fresh Market.

I also mix ACV with olive oil and spices in a salad dressing I make from scratch, and I often just swig it straight out of the bottle for a little kick. Of course it’s a great healthy substitute for any recipe that calls for vinegar, just prepare for a slightly different flavored dish.

Paul Bragg was a lifelong health crusader and mentor to Jack Lalane. He wrote a book on Apple Cider Vinegar and numerous other books on diet, exercise, fasting, etc; and is just basically awesome. I have most of his books in my library.You can find 16oz bottles of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar at most grocery stores, or you can get a big ol’ 1 gallon jugHERE.
